Solar-Powered Shade Supplies

The Tensile Solar Shade Keeps You Cool & Your Gadgets Charged

— June 2, 2011 — Eco
The new Tensile Solar Shade designed by SMIT is a revolutionary way to keep cool from the blazing hot sun this summer. This piece simultaneously helps generate solar power for a variety of electronics and gadgets that you may be carrying. The Tensile Solar Shade is truly a remarkable product for many different reasons.

In addition to its power-preserving properties that work via the colorful solar plates attached to the fabric, the Tensile Solar Shade is available in four different designs, each of which will maximize the power you can generate and protect you from the sun. If one of the colored solar plates breaks or stops working, the rest of the plates will continue to work. The Tensile Solar Shade is also made using a strong element-enduring pliable fabric that is 100% recyclable. This is a great product that not only keeps you cool during the hot summer days, but that also aids you in living a green lifestyle!
